Exodus 7
Exodus 7:1 And the Lord said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to
Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
2 Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron
thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of
Israel out of his land.
3 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and
my wonders in the land of Egypt.
4 But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my
hand upon Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, and my
people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great
judgments.
5 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when
I stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the
children of Israel from among them.
6 And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded them, so did
they.
7 And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old,
when they spake unto Pharaoh.
8 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
9 When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle for you:
then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast
it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent.
-
1st time Moses Goes to Pharaoh
-
Take thy rod, and cast
it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent.
10 And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the Lord had
commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants,
and it became a serpent.
11 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of
Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.

12 For they cast down every man his rod, and they
became serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.

13 And he hardened Pharaoh's heart, that he hearkened not unto them; as the Lord
had said.
14 And the Lord said unto Moses, Pharaoh's heart is hardened, he refuseth to let
the people go.
15 Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and
thou shalt stand by the river's brink against he come; and the rod which
was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thine hand.
-
Thou shalt stand by the river's brink against he come; and the
rod which
was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thine hand.
16 And thou shalt say unto him, The Lord God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto
thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: and,
behold, hitherto thou wouldest not hear.
17 Thus saith the Lord, In this thou shalt know that I am the Lord: behold, I
will smite with the rod that is in mine hand upon the waters which are in the
river, and they shall be turned to blood.
-
2nd time to Pharaoh = I will smite with the rod that is in mine hand
upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be
turned to blood.
18 And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and
the Egyptians shall lothe to drink of the water of the river.
19 And the Lord spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron,
Take thy rod, and
stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their streams,
upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that
they may become blood; and that there may be blood throughout
all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone.
20 And Moses and Aaron did so, as the Lord commanded; and
he lifted up
the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of
Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in
the river were turned to blood.
21 And the
fish that was in the river died; and the river
stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there
was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.
22 And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments: and Pharaoh's
heart was hardened, neither did he hearken unto them; as the Lord had said.
-
The magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments
23 And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he set his heart to
this also.
24 And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink; for
they could not drink of the water of the river.
25 And seven days were fulfilled, after that the
Lord had smitten the river.
• Exactly 2520 years from the exile
of Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation.
•
The first tribe to be
conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh,
in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776.
(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually
breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.
He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would
be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them
among the heathens (like lost sheep)
